Warrior Two - Virabhadrasana 2

Did you know? That the Warrior poses were not present in the classical Hatha Yoga systems such as Satyananda and Sivananda. It is said that it was Iyengar that developed the poses for the Western needs and appetite for poses! So here’s an alignment focused Warrior 2, inspired by the Iyengar system.

Benefits: This pose expands the chest, improving breathing capacity. It strengthens
the legs and relieves lower backache for everybody but especially for women later on in their pregnancies.

Step by Step Instructions:

Begin by standing in tadasana.
In this pose I demonstrate jumping, but if you are pregnant or menstruating it is best to step the feet apart.
